,其中,設定訊號 SET係相關於所輸入之脈寬調變訊號PWM之脈寬。在此情況下, 脈寬調變驅動晶片20可根據脈寬調變訊號PWM,以非直接方式透 過脈寬調變輸出訊號PWMout,控制輸出以驅動風扇(其驅動方式 與第1B圖相似)。 舉例來說,可透過輸入脈寬調變訊號PWM切換一雙載子電晶 體(bipolar junction transistor,BJT) Q1 之開啟與關閉,再透過一分 壓電路208以及一濾波電路210產生與所輸入之脈寬調變訊號PWM 之脈寬呈負相關之直流設定訊號SET (於脈寬調變訊號PWM之開 啟時間時,雙載子電晶體Q1開啟且電阻R2〜R3並聯,因此電阻 R3之跨壓較小)。 在此情況下,請參考第2B圖’第2B圖為第2A圖中設定訊號 SET、三角波OSC以及脈寬調變輸出訊號PWMom,之示意圖。如 第2B圖所示’比較器206可比較直流設定訊號SET與一振盪器212 所產生之三角波OSC,以得到脈寬調變輸出訊號PWMout,。如此 一來,可藉由調整分壓電路208中電阻R1〜R3來決定設定訊號set 與所輸入之脈寬調變訊號PWM之脈寬之間的關係,進而決定脈寬 調變輸出訊號PWMout’之最低或最高操作脈寬及相對應最低或最 高轉速。 201244379 舉例來說,當脈寬調變訊號PWM之脈寬為0%時,設定訊號 SET之電壓等於並聯電阻R2〜R3之跨壓,此時若電阻幻〜之 電阻值較大則設定訊號SET最大值較大,使得脈寬調變輸出訊號 PWMout’之最低操作脈寬及相對應最低轉速較小,可依此調整脈 寬調變輸出訊號PWMout’之最低操作脈寬及相對應最低轉速。依 此類推,亦可調整脈寬調變輸出訊號PWM〇ut’之最高操作脈寬及 相對應最高轉速。 須庄意’為了使脈寬調變輸出訊號p\yM〇ut’之脈寬以及頻率 皆可調整,第2A圖所示用來產生設定訊號SET之電路以及震盪器 212所接之電容都是位於脈寬調變驅動晶片2〇外部,因此脈寬調變 驅動晶片20需有設定腳位202及振盪腳位204。 另一方面,請參考第3圖,第3圖為習知同時具有一直接輸入 脈寬調變轉速控制模式及一非直接輸入脈寬調變轉速控制模式之一

Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a pulse width modulation (pWM) driving chip and a pulse width modulation output signal generating method thereof, and more particularly The input pin 'has _ when there is - direct input pulse width machine speed control surface type and - non-direct input pulse width touch control 赖 减 减 鹤 鹤 鹤 鹤 鹤 其 其 其 其 其 其 其 其 其 其 其 其 其 其 其 其 其 其 其 其 其 其 其 其[Prior Art] In recent years, with the development of computer technology, the processing clock of the central processor (centralpr_sing deleted 'CPU) has increased greatly, and the heat generated by the central processing unit has also increased, so the demand for heat dissipation The more important it is, the many hot-selling methods used in the current are still hot fans. At the center of the towel, the _ cooling fan (pulse width modulation » PWM) m speed two speed control modes, wherein the pulse width and speed regulation are further divided into direct input pulse width modulation speed control surface Reduced and turned to face 0. ▲ In detail, please refer to 1Affl, and Figure 1A shows that there is a direct input pulse width modulation speed control surface type - the pulse width modulation drive chip 1 () is shown as the first picture, pulse The wide-variation-variable driving chip 1G includes a pulse width modulation pin (10) for receiving the pulse width modulation signal PWM, so that the pulse width modulation driving chip ι can directly use the pulse width modulation signal PWM as a pulse width. The output signal PWM (10) is modulated to control the output to drive the fan at 201244379. For example, please refer to the first figure, and FIG. 1B is a schematic diagram of a driving circuit 104 of the pulse width modulation driving chip ί1 of the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1B, the pulse width modulation driving chip 10 can control the driving circuit 1〇4-upper bridge switch 1G6 and the lower bridge switch opening and closing _ to change the driving fan. One drives the current IL, which in turn changes the fan speed. In this case, please refer to the first ic diagram. FIG. 1C is a schematic diagram of the pulse width modulation signal PWM and the pulse width modulation output signal pwM〇ut of the pulse width modulation driving chip 1A in FIG. As shown in the figure, because the pulse width modulation output signal pWMGUtm pulse width modulation signal PWM, it can be controlled by the pulse width modulation of the input pulse 峨 PWM pulse (four) pulse width Xia output signal PWMom pulse Width and corresponding fan speed. Second, since the speed curve generated by the direct pulse width modulation control mode is proportional to the pulse width of the pulse width modulation PWM, if the county speed application is required, for example, the pulse width modulation output signal has the lowest or highest The operating pulse width (such as the minimum of the application or 8〇% or the most R3 operating pulse width) must be in the non-direct pulse width modulation signal control mode. . Referring to FIG. 2A, FIG. 2A is a schematic diagram of a pulse width modulation driving chip 2 习 having a non-direct input pulse width modulation speed control mode. As shown in the second figure, the pulse width modulation driving chip 20 includes a set pin 2〇2, a ring (10) bit 2〇4, and a comparator 206. The setting pin 2〇2 and the oscillating pin position 2〇4 are respectively used to receive a setting signal 201244379 SET and a triangular wave 〇sc, and the comparator 2〇6 is used to compare the setting signal SET and the triangular wave OSC to generate a pulse width modulation. The output signal pwMout', wherein the setting signal SET is related to the pulse width of the input pulse width modulation signal PWM. In this case, the pulse width modulation driving chip 20 can pass the pulse width modulation output signal PWMout in an indirect manner according to the pulse width modulation signal PWM, and control the output to drive the fan (the driving method is similar to that of Fig. 1B). For example, a bipolar junction transistor (BJT) Q1 can be switched on and off by an input pulse width modulation signal PWM, and then generated and input through a voltage dividing circuit 208 and a filter circuit 210. The pulse width of the pulse width modulation signal PWM is negatively correlated with the DC setting signal SET (when the pulse width modulation signal PWM is turned on, the bipolar transistor Q1 is turned on and the resistors R2 to R3 are connected in parallel, so the crossover of the resistor R3 The pressure is small). In this case, please refer to FIG. 2B'. FIG. 2B is a schematic diagram of the setting signal SET, the triangular wave OSC, and the pulse width modulation output signal PWMom in FIG. 2A. As shown in FIG. 2B, the comparator 206 compares the DC setting signal SET with the triangular wave OSC generated by an oscillator 212 to obtain a pulse width modulated output signal PWMout. In this way, the relationship between the set signal set and the pulse width of the input pulse width modulation signal PWM can be determined by adjusting the resistors R1 R R3 in the voltage dividing circuit 208, thereby determining the pulse width modulation output signal PWMout. 'The lowest or highest operating pulse width and the corresponding minimum or maximum speed. 201244379 For example, when the pulse width of the pulse width modulation signal PWM is 0%, the voltage of the setting signal SET is equal to the voltage across the parallel resistors R2 to R3. At this time, if the resistance value of the resistor is large, the signal SET is set. The maximum value is large, so that the minimum operating pulse width and the corresponding minimum rotational speed of the pulse width modulation output signal PWMout' are small, and the minimum operating pulse width and the corresponding minimum rotational speed of the pulse width modulated output signal PWMout' can be adjusted accordingly. By analogy, the maximum operating pulse width and the corresponding maximum rotational speed of the pulse width modulated output signal PWM〇ut' can also be adjusted. In order to make the pulse width modulation output signal p\yM〇ut' pulse width and frequency can be adjusted, the circuit used to generate the setting signal SET and the capacitor connected to the oscillator 212 are shown in FIG. 2A. Located outside the pulse width modulation driving chip 2, the pulse width modulation driving chip 20 needs to have a setting pin 202 and an oscillating pin 204. On the other hand, please refer to FIG. 3, which is a pulse width modulation driving chip 30 which has a direct input pulse width modulation speed control mode and a non-direct input pulse width modulation speed control mode. schematic diagram. As shown in FIG. 3, in the prior art, if the S person directly inputs the pulse width modulation speed control mode and the indirect input pulse width modulation speed control mode, the chip 3 must be driven as the pulse width modulation. The 〇 includes three input pins 302 to 306' for receiving the pulse width modulation signal pwm, the setting signal SET, and the triangular wave OSC, respectively, to perform operations such as pulse width modulation driving the chip 1 〇 '20. However, due to the limited pulse width of the general pulse width modulation driver, it is conventional to realize the direct input pulse width modulation speed control mode and the indirect input with three input pins. 201244379 ===::=_ Restricted [Invention] The main purpose of this month is to provide a pulse width that can have fewer feet at the same time - direct input pulse __ speed control surface and _ non-direct input pulse width modulation speed control mode The modulation drive chip and its pulse width modulation output signal generation method. The invention discloses a pulse width modulation driving chip, comprising a first pin for receiving a first number 'a second pin' for receiving a second signal, a comparing unit, for using the first - the signal is compared with a reference voltage to generate - the comparison result indicates the operation mode of the hetero-wide modulation driving chip; and - the output unit is configured to output according to the first apostrophe, the second signal, and the comparison result A pulse width modulation output signal. The invention further discloses a pulse width modulation output signal generating method for a pulse width modulation driving chip. The pulse width modulation output signal generating method includes: receiving a first signal and a second signal; comparing the first signal with a reference voltage to generate a comparison result indicating an operation mode of the pulse width modulation driving chip; And outputting a pulse width modulation output signal according to the first signal, the second signal, and the comparison result. [Embodiment] Please refer to FIG. 4, which shows a direct input pulse width modulation speed control mode DPWMM and an indirect input pulse width modulation speed control 201244379 mode IDPWMM-pulse width adjustment according to an embodiment of the present invention. A schematic diagram of the flip chip 4〇. As shown in FIG. 4, the pulse width modulation driving chip 40 includes pins 4〇2, 4〇4, a comparing unit 4〇6, and an output unit 408, which may further include as shown in FIG. 1B. The drive circuit 1〇4 drives the fan without being limited thereto. Briefly, the pins 402 and 404 can respectively receive the signal sig SIG2, wherein the sfl number SIG1 can be a voltage signal, and the signal siG2 can be a triangular wave 〇sc or a pulse width modulation signal PWM'. Then, the comparison unit 406 can compare the signal SIG1 with a reference voltage VREF to determine whether the signal SIG1 is a set signal SET, and then generate a comparison result SEL indicating the operation mode of the pulse width modulation drive chip 40. p is the direct input pulse width modulation speed control mode DPWMM or the indirect input pulse width modulation speed control mode IDPWMM. Finally, the output unit 408 can output a pulse width modulation output according to the signals SIG1, SIG2 and the comparison result SEL, and the PWM output "controls the output to drive the fan (the implementation of the driving mode can be similar to the iB diagram). The lower pulse width modulation driving chip 40 can detect the level of the signal SIG1 and determine that the signal SIG2 is a triangular wave OSC' or a pulse width modulation signal PWM, and then output a pulse width modulation output signal PWMout ", so The triangular wave OSC, and the pulse width modulation § hole 5 tiger PWM input pin are combined in the foot position 404. In this way, compared with the conventional three input pins, the pulse width modulation driving chip 40 only needs two pins 4〇2, 404, and can have a direct input pulse width modulation speed control mode DPWMM and non- The pulse width modulation speed control mode IDPWMM is directly input, so more functions can be realized under the limited pin position 201244379. In detail, the comparison unit 406 compares the signal SIG1 with the reference voltage VREF. When the signal SIG1 is smaller than the reference voltage VREF, the determination signal SIG1 is not the set signal SET', so the comparison result SEL indicates the operation of the pulse width The mode op is a direct input pulse width modulation speed control mode DPWMM. In this case, the signal SIG2 is the pulse width modulation signal PWM, so the output unit 4〇8 will use the pulse width modulation signal PWM as the pulse width modulation output signal pWM〇ut "output.
